SAY NO TO ROCK BAND!!!

[OshKoshBG0sh]

This Post is more for the UK members but members in the USA could also contribute if they want to

Hey guys and girls of gamernade, i dunno about you, but i REALLY dont wanna pay £180 for a game that only cost the equivalent of £85 in america ($160 or so)
I am of course talking about Rock Band, this to m is Daylight Robbery selling a game for a gamesconsole at the same price as the console itself.....

so if you could go on facebook if you have it and follow this link:
http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gi...3044870&ref=mf

That is a link to a large group of protesters that has already attracted over 200 members in the first 2-3 days.

or if you dont have facebook you could just e-mail the following people with this message:

I am emailing you to inform you that I, along with many of friends and family and countless other gamers, will be boycotting all EA products until the recently announced price for the forthcoming title Rock Band is lowered in the UK and Europe. Expecting people to pay £180 for the so called "Full experience" is absolutely ridiculous and puts no doubt thousands of people off the buying the game, you can inevitably expect to hear from other people who share the same feelings asd i do on this issue.

The people to e-mail are:

ssmithwright@europe.ea.com
swhite@europe.ea.com
(the e-mail is also on facebook, the sole purpose of me printing it here is for those that do not use facebook.)
If you do use facebook, please join the group, read the info and send the e-mail and invite all your friends to do the same!
cheers guys and girls!

Damn that is a fair bloody price. I am going to go and join this group right now and protest because I can =)

Yeah it's fucking retarded, I don't even want the game but EA are getting beyond rediculous now. I might email them calling them cunts, just cause I can.

My sis just bought rock band, it was cheap, America : 1, Rest of World : 0

Just kidding that does blow but I mean there's got to be a reason behind it, and it's alittle too late to boycott it over here lol, but I mean whenever I see the Rock Band box I'll give it a pretty nasty glare don't you worry.

[Leon]

$355

LOL

[RockSaviour]

I probably won't be purchasing it for such a great price inless something is done

[BLiNk]

lol glad it hasn't changed to that over here, not that I would buy it, but me buying it and shipping over there? Is that illegal or anything, cause pretty sure it is lol

[Leon]

Nope, it's perfectly fine to import it.

Pretty idiotic to make a point out of just Rockband.

Prices are similar with all other electronics. Compared to prices of other games, consoles and other electronic devices, the Rockband price is reasonable. (I repeat, in comparison ---)
Therefor, there's no point in pressuring Rockband on the issue, it's a much larger issue that won't be solved so easily by a hopeful individual who happens to know how to create a facebook.

Edit: just noticed it's not €180 but 180 pounds. Ok, I retract my statement - that's just really fucked up.

I don't think many other things compare to this, I know places you can get it for £120.

But seriously, this is way overpriced.
